I totally agree. If you're so darn good-looking, people will be able to see it. I was also put-off when the sibling pair mentioned how intelligent they are. Same deal - if you're really smart, people will be able to figure that out. Unless you think we're all maroons (to steal Bugs Bunny's word). I liked that team, but was irked by that description of themselves. Like the Treasure Hunters team that named themselves The Geniuses.

Enough egotistical contestants - let the FORT community come up with its own adjectives to describe your team.

Re: Marianna & Julia - Season 12

I'm still surprised at how much dislike this team has gathered, as I just can't see any reason to hate them. Smug and egocentric? Just because they believe they look good? I don't find that egocentric or smug, I find that to be confident. Smug would be putting others down by trying to put themselves high. They did have a bad start and places quite behind in the first leg, so I'm hoping they do better in the second leg.

Re: Marianna & Julia - Season 12

I still don't understand all the hate towards the sisters. I like them. They don't bicker... seem to just plug along. I don't think they will win, but compared to some of the other teams.... I think they are ok and definately not deserving in all the 'smug' messages i have read on this boards.... Just my opinion.

Re: Marianna & Julia - Season 12

I liked this team as well and thought they were pretty strong and confident without being at all obnoxious. They were competitive and fun to watch. It's too bad they couldn't stick around longer, they haven't gotten that much screen time with so many teams still racing which is why I'm also confused at the hate on some people have for them.

And compared to the traditional TAR template generic hetero-couple in a relationship where one is either completely worthless and melts down at the hint of pressure or the other is insane and unabashedly abusive, or both- I'd rather have seen the sisters move on than the forgettable pair that just beat them out tonight.

Re: Marianna & Julia - Season 12

I liked them also. Not my favorite team, but had no hatred towards them. Would have rathered that the other team went home,. Anyone who has an emotional breakdown that long when fiddling with a camel's nipples dosen't seem like a good fit to run TAR.
